Welcome

I am a sculptor with 20 years experience in stone carving and a passion for lettering. I live and work near Bath in the South West of England. I make memorials, house signs, gifts and sculptures to commission. I specialise in a creative approach to memorial design, using hand carved lettering and carved imagery, but I also make traditional headstones and cremation tablets, beautifully. I design and make distinctive hand carved house signs, date stones, and garden sculptures and I make gifts for celebrating life. A word sculpture is a great way to celebrate significant moments such as births, weddings, anniversaries and birthdays. I also make inscriptions and sculptures for businesses, schools, churches and other public settings. I have made work for Memorials by Artists and the National Trust, and I have work in the National collection of lettering and Memorial Art.
I design and carve my own letters by hand, because I want them to be human, full of life, and distinctive rather than mass produced.
I always work sensitively and creatively with my clients to find the best way of expressing their ideas.
I hope you like my work and enjoy this site.
